Bodywork & Massage in Los Angeles

Based in the theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu Alchemy’s holistic approach supports and stimulates your body’s natural healing ability.

More than just massage.

At the heart of Shiatsu Alchemy is the mysterious and powerful ability for our bodies to heal themselves.

Allowing the central nervous system to recalibrate, you’ll release tension patterns no longer necessary, bringing a sense of balanced peace, calm, focus, and relief.

Supporting your healing journey.

There is a special magic that happens when we communicate subtly through touch.

During a Shiatsu Alchemy session, a safe atmosphere is created where your body can fully relax in to a calm, meditative state that helps facilitate deep healing and release. People of every gender, race, sexual orientation, and body type are welcomed and respected.
